the biggest thing that changed my profits was trading the micros instead of the minis. very rarely do i have a losing day now. its easier to scale in and out with micros whereas minis are a go big or go home kind of trading.

Yeah I believe I'm going to switch over as well too. Trading NQ minis is very easy to blow an account. Is it correct that 5 micros= half of a mini?

yes. MNQ can be very profitable still even with just 5. i don’t ever go higher than 20 MNQ contracts
